Re: Anybody Up For A Meet-Up At the VC Fair? Especially Mon 8/4, Beach Boys Night?

I'm happy with a meet of two. I can do Monday. I have no interest in the concerts this year, so I'll be getting there at gate open (taking the train!), and leaving on the last train south of the evening at 7:30.

I pledge allegiance to the Earth, one planet, many gods, and to the universe in which she spins.

Apparently, that's what we'll have...although I'm definitely open.

Since I'm driving, I aim to get there between 2 and 4pm (hopefully before they close the Fairgrounds lot) because I don't like their shuttles). And I want to get in line early for the grandstand.

Please PM me if you can so we can get in touch...)

And I'm still up for a meet later this week if anyone would like!

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

glad you had a good time Barry! i bet the Beach Boys show was free there....and they're playing here in Reno on friday for Hot August Nights and i think the tickets are $50+ each, so you got a heck of a deal

It was and I did! Free with admission to the Fair, and I even had a freebie from the radio station for that!

The Ventura County Fair is a nice fair that's grown, but not so much that it's lost it's local flavor.

It's got a lovely setting - directly overlooking Surfer's Point - they say that they are the only Fair that is directly adjacent to the coastline.

It's main drawback - the parking. The Seaside Park parking lot is not nearly sufficient...and the shuttle buses and train service are ot enough to make up for it.
